Shakira Announces First Pregnancy — Congrats

Shakira took to her Facebook page to announce that she is expecting her first baby with boyfriend Gerard Pique! How exciting! Read on for all the details.

It’s been a busy week for Shakira! After the announcement that the singer would be joining NBC’s The Voice as a coach for season four, she’s announced on her Facebook page that she is expecting a child with boyfriend Gerard Pique!

“As some of you may know, Gerard and I are very happy awaiting the arrival of our first baby!” Shakira, 35, announced to her 54 million Facebook fans on Wednesday, Sept. 19. “At this time we have decided to give priority to this unique moment in our lives and postpone all the promotional activities planned over the next few days. This means I will not be able to be a part of the iHeartRadio Music Festival, but I’m sure this weekend in Las Vegas will be spectacular and I will be closely following everything that happens there! I’d like to thank Clear Channel and my fans for their constant love and understanding.”

While fans may be disappointed that Shakira is pulling out of her performance, this is quite an understandable excuse! Congrats, Shakira and Gerard!
